Hey there, I'm an old fart who "discovered" The Sims back when there was no number in the name (I think it was my younger brother who introduced me to it) and I was at uni. Rejoined at Sims 4 (there was a special on xbox!) and haven't looked back since. Brilliant way to have a break from real life after a rubbish day at work etc.

Here to talk about Sims and pick up tips etc. I'm also a member of the Sims4 and Sims subreddits, if anyone is around on there too.

Hello @twirliegirly It is nice to meet you. Welcome to the forums!
It is nice that you started simming by playing the original The Sims and it is great that you are now back simming again and playing Sims 4 console version. Simming is a great way of taking a break from real life and all that our day and life has been holding. It is also very fun to play!
I hope you will enjoy chatting about the game with fellow simmers on the threads and find helpful game tips and ideas.
Happy simming!

Yolo, everyone.
I go by SimsRandR, or Sims R&R, and I started this game with the PS2 version of the Sims. I still have it but like most it doesn't play anymore because of the warping of the center. T-T Anyway, I enjoy slow pace RPGs like sims, harvest moon, and persona. I play C.O.D. mobile for a change of pace now or my head is stuck inside a book. (Did I mention I'm a read-a-holic.) Been aiming to go to college again but I'm leery of Loans and college debt. Well, that's it for me, I guess. Any Questions?

Hello @SimsRandR It is nice to meet you. Welcome to the forums!
It is nice that you started simming by playing console version of The Sims. Simming is very enjoyable and fun!
It is great that you enjoy reading. Time passes very quickly when reading a good book!
Happy simming!

hello! i'm ike and ive been playing the sims since i was pretty small. i used to browse this website, but was a bit too shy to make an account at the time :P i like reading, gaming, and programming! my favourite thing to do in-game is probably making sims, especially in the sims 4 as it's so much more in depth (plus the clothes are quite fashionable compared to older games)

Hello @deluxie It is nice to meet you. Welcome to posting forums!
It is very nice that you have been simming since you were young. You would have many special memories of fun times spent simming over the time
Creating sims is a great part of simming! It is very nice giving then background details, then working out outfits that suit them.
Happy simming!

My name is Jade Flowers (yes my last name is flowers) I am 24 from Devon in England!
I work in mental health and I am studying a masters degree in psychotherapy
I’ve been playing sims for over 13 years. I prefer sims 3 over sims 4 and hastily waiting for sims 5. I’d actually be happy if sims 5 was a remastered version of sims 2 with open world and story progression!

Hello @LovingSims It is nice to meet you. Welcome to the forums!
It is very nice that you been simming for over 13 years. You would have enjoyed playing a number of households over the time and seeing how their Sims lives developed in your game. Simming is fun!
I hope that your masters degree course is going well.
Happy simming!

Hello everyone! I was a huge Sims 2 junkie but found Sims 3 really lacking (aside from horses which I spent way too much time on). I've only recently gotten into Sims 4, but I find it a lot easier to stay motivated if I have some form of social outlet when I play... so I decided it was well past time I sign up since I already read here a lot :)

I have a 'story' family of vampires and thralls with aging turned off since I just dip in on them whenever I please, but I'm preparing to start up a legacy family now. It's always so hard for me to let go of them--but I'm determined to properly do a challenge this time LOL. I'm looking forward to being here!

Hello @Bellatrixed It is nice to meet you. Welcome to posting on the forums!
I hope that your legacy challenge goes well! It is sad when our sims die
I hope you will enjoy meeting and chatting with fellow simmers as you read and post on the forums threads .
Happy simming!

Hi everyone! I've been playing the Sims since 2000 where it all began. Seeing throwbacks to the Sims 1 days is so crazy to me- the game has advanced so much since then! Sims 2 was probably my favorite. I had almost all the expansion packs and spent countless hours creating and storytelling. Honestly I wasn't a huge fan of The Sims 3. Currently I'm enjoying The Sims 4 and I just got my first expansion pack- Get To Work. I would love to know what your favorite expansions are & suggestions on what I should get next!

Hello mortals! I've been playing the Sims 4 for a while but only just now joined the forums. I was mostly motivated by a really odd bug that happened in my game that I haven't found any other examples of on the internet, but I've been thinking about joining for a while now.

I'm also stoked that the name Simnado (like tornado) hadn't been taken yet.

Thanks! I've been poking around old threads and it seems there's the possibility of the issue I'm seeing being an intended feature of the game, but I'm not sure. I'm not finding many people talking about it.

Hello fellow simmers! I've been playing The Sims since The Sims 1 but only casually. I'm not so much a video gamer than I am a reader, so it's taken me soooooo long to discover this wonderful site. I'm currently playing the 100 Baby Challenge but I'm looking for other ones to do on the side and after I finish. Any suggestions? To be honest I only have the Base Game, Cats and Dogs, and Tiny Living. What would you suggest I get next for an EP, GP, and SP? Thanks so much and Happy Simming!
